Middle English
ISBN: 9780199559398 / Angielski / Miękka / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These original essays mean to provoke rather than reassure, to challenge rather than codify. Instead of summarizing existing knowledge after the fashion of the now-ubiquitous literary 'companions, ' these essays aim at opening fresh discussion; instead of emphasizing settled consensus they direct their readers to areas of enlivened and unresolved debate. Although 'major authors' such as Chaucer and Langland are richly represented, many little-known and neglected texts are considered as well. Analysis is devoted not only to self-sufficient works, but to the general conditions of textual...

The Gospel in Christian Traditions
ISBN: 9780195370638 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout the history of Christianity, there have been theological disputes that caused fissures among the faithful.

Research conducted in the last fifteen years has placed in question many of the traditional conclusions scholars have formed about human female sexuality.

Synthesizing research in behavioral evolution and comparative biology, the authors provide a new...

New Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin
ISBN: 9780195373363 / Angielski / Miękka / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Like Carl Darling Buck's Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin (1933), this book is an explanation of the similarities and differences between Greek and Latin morphology and lexicon through an account of their prehistory. It also aims to discuss the principal features of Indo-European linguistics. Greek and Latin are studied as a pair for cultural reasons only; as languages, they have little in common apart from their Indo-European heritage. Thus the only way to treat the historical bases for their development is to begin with Proto-Indo-European. The only way to make a...
